However, the multiple active antennas for transmission also brings the demodulation difficulties at the receiver. To solve the problem of high computational complexity of the optimal maximum likelihood (ML) detection, two sub-optimal detection algorithms are proposed through reducing the number of transmit antenna combinations (TACs) detected at the receiver. One is the maximum ratio combining detection algorithm based on repetitive sorting strategy, termed as (MRC-RS), which uses MRC repetitive sorting strategy to select the most likely TACs in detection. The other is the maximum ratio combining detection algorithm, which is based on the iterative idea of the orthogonal matching pursuit, termed the MRC-MP algorithm. The MRC-MP algorithm reduces the number of TACs through finite iterations to reduce the computational complexity. For M-QAM constellation, a hard-limited maximum likelihood (HLML) detection algorithm is introduced to calculate the modulation symbol. For the M-PSK constellation, a low-complexity maximum likelihood (LCML) algorithm is introduced to calculate the modulation symbol. The computational complexity of these two algorithms for calculating the modulation symbol are independent of modulation order. The simulation results show that for GSM systems with a large number of TACs, the proposed two algorithms not only achieve almost the same bit error rate (BER) performance as the ML algorithm, but also can greatly reduce the computational complexity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/fi14050159","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,23]],"date-time":"2022-05-23T22:57:22Z","timestamp":1653346642000},"page":"159","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Low-Complexity GSM Detection Based on Maximum Ratio Combining"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Xinhe","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic and Information Engineering, University of Science and Technology Liaoning, Anshan 114051, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenbo","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic and Information Engineering, University of Science and Technology Liaoning, Anshan 114051, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haoran","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic and Information Engineering, University of Science and Technology Liaoning, Anshan 114051, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"56","DOI":"10.1109\/JPROC.2013.2287851","article-title":"Spatial modulation for generalized MIMO: Challenges, opportunities, and implementation","volume":"1","author":"Renzo","year":"2014","journal-title":"Proc.
